State regulators are calling this one of the largest local contractor fraud cases in recent history.

A San Jose couple is facing 33 felony counts and is accused of defrauding customers out of more than $800,000 dollars. For the first time, homeowners who say they were victimized are speaking publicly about the case.

The homeowners who filed complaints in this case say the suspects totally won them over.

Jana Lee wanted to add a sunroom to her home to take advantage of her gorgeous views in Millbrae.

Cindy Seto dreamed of building out her home in San Carlos with an L-shaped sun parlor.

They both hired a company run by this married couple, William and Constance Gabriel.

The Gabriels face 79 counts in all, including 33 felony counts of grand theft, elder fraud and white collar crime enhancements for allegedly taking money for personal expenses and not completing the work promised.

Jana Lee said William Gabriel told her he was a pastor.

"We're Christian. We try to give business to fellow Christians," said Jana.

Cindy has been fantasizing about using her new room addition since she hired Sunrooms America in 2016.

"Really want to sit inside the sunroom, holding a book, drinking a cup of tea, facing the view," she said.

Cindy says, at the time, Sunrooms America's Yelp reviews were good, the company was licensed and seemed to know what it was doing.

She signed two separate contracts -- one for each side of the "L" shaped room, totaling $81,000.
